I was honored to be invited to participate in the Marlboro Arts Council Art & Jazz fundraising evening last week.\u00a0 This is an evening with live jazz, a number of artists who set up small displays, an open wine bar, and heavy appetizers to raise money for summer arts programs for local children.<\/p>\n
The artists pay a small fee to show, the supporters pay to come for the evening, local elected officials donated and poured the wine, and it was a wonderful evening – black tie optional.\u00a0 And to my surprise, most folks were dressed to the nines!<\/p>\n
They had a great crowd, the jazz band was absolutely fabulous, food was good.\u00a0 I got lots of attention but few sales at my display, but one sale was a major one, so the night was definitely worth it!\u00a0 The jazz was so good it would have been worth it just for that….<\/p>\n
Plus another arts group was there to check out the event, and got my card to invite me to something similar they are planning!\u00a0\u00a0 I handed out lots of business cards, so I’m still hoping that some sales will come from those also.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
